1.103 Troops march westward

More than 300 horsemen, and thousands of military vehicles, galloped all the way along the Oriental Road, rushing to Chang'an.

Sitting in the wheels, leaf springs, bedding, triple shock-absorbing carriage, galloping all the way. Liu Bei couldn't help but feel in his heart.

The gallop road built by the First Emperor. In the Han Dynasty, which was 2,000 years ago, there was a high-speed road network covering most of the country. When people are driving on the galloping road, what is the concept of speeding 200 miles in half a day?

Here's a very simple example. Once there is something on the frontier, the army will be there in less than three days. It's so fast, it's too powerful.

Regarding the track, Liu Bei has two cognitions based on the current ancient books and legends.

For one thing, all the gallops have railroad on them. In other words, the reason why such a smooth road was built was to pave the track road.

Second, some of the gallop roads are built on the tracks. For example, in some mining areas or forest areas deep into the barren mountains, rail roads are built to facilitate vehicle transportation.

Although 400 years have passed, it is no longer possible to determine the scale of the scale. But Liu Bei believes that the first type is the majority.

At the beginning of the Qin and Han dynasties, all the tracks laid on the gallop road were dismantled. Transformed into the main road of the Lianghan road network.

A large part of the Han Dynasty's conscription was used to maintain roads. This shows the importance of the road network.

If he didn't live in the present, how could Liu Bei know that there was a highway network in the Han Dynasty!

Qin Chi Road is centered on Xianyang and built in all directions. At the end of Qin, Xianyang was burned by the overlord of Chu. In the early years of Han Gaozu, Xianyang, which was burned down by Xiang Yu, was repaired and named Xincheng. During the reign of Emperor Wu, because Xianyang was close to Weishui, it was renamed Weicheng. Weicheng is only more than ten miles away from Chang'an. When you arrive in Chang'an, you are equivalent to the center of the entire road network. At that time, it was only necessary to re-enter the Western Road: from the northwest of Weicheng to Beidi County, and then to Wuwei through the Hexi Corridor to Dunhuang. Whether it is out of Yumen in the north or Yangguan in the south. It is one step away from the Western Regions.

The western road is the main artery connecting Guanzhong and Longxi. It is also connected to the Silk Road in the west, and its strategic position is very prominent. The counties along the way are repaired every year, and the road conditions are excellent. It is not difficult to travel 400 miles a day with an empty car. A fully loaded military vehicle like Liu Bei can travel 200 miles a day.

Throughout the Silk Road. In the territory of Dahan, the road is very smooth. Only when passing through the countries of the Western Regions, it is easy to be plundered by Xianbei.

There was no Western Regions of the Han Dynasty. To put it mildly, it's a mess of loose sand. It's just the defeated Xianbei of the west, tens of thousands of horses, which makes the countries of the Western Regions miserable. even organized a group to come to Luoyang, begging the Han Dynasty to send troops to resolve it.

This is the disadvantage of the city-state.

There was no unified and centralized central dynasty.

In times of peace, culture flourished and commerce flourished. The spark of wisdom and the collision of ideas are full of humanistic and artistic atmosphere of the fusion of East and West. Gold coins flowed down the drains, and the air was filled with the free smell of mixed with perfume. Everything is so beautiful.

However. In the event of a barbarian invasion. Civilization built on the sand table will collapse with a bang. Overnight, the city burned to the ground. There was a bloody smell of death mixed with bodily fluids.

In front of the butcher's knives and sexual tools held high by the barbarians, they also boasted about how civilized, beautiful and free they were.

Have an egg?

It's just a rejuvenating pill for the barbarians.

The premise of all freedom and beauty is power. This has been the case throughout the ages.

And before it was civilized. All savage civilizations obey only the strong, and submit to the butcher's knife that spills blood.

Duan Taiwei's Pingqiang Codex was described by Liu Bei as 'blood and tears sticky hands'. But what would he do if he were to replace him?

When the national power was at its peak, it was persuaded and educated, and it was sinicized for a long time, and it was convincing people with morality.

When the national strength was weakened, Taiwei Duan's approach was also a medicine for the tiger and wolf.

There are two kinds of surrender: reverence and fear.

There are also two kinds of governance: royal and domineering.

More than 300 horsemen, 1,000 military vehicles. Ordinary pavilions can't live. Liu Bei didn't bother, took enough grain and grass, and found a field to camp. The troop vehicles are arranged in layers, and the traps are turned on one after another. A military vehicle camp with a certain degree of entry and exit and a clear distinction was built in a very short time.

The Linxiang family is fine. It's not strange to see it.

Luoyang's retainers are all dumbfounded. Looking at the lord Liu Bei again, they are all respectful like gods and ghosts.

Technically, it's not that hard.

From the beginning of forging, the machine vehicle has been divided into different functions. Some are used as wall foundations. Some are used to pile high, some are tower defense, some are access control, and some are surrounded by each other, so that a camp can be formed, a nunnery (sick house), or a blacksmith shop, a baking shop, a camp soup pool, a wine bar, and a mobile toilet can be built on the flat ground...... And so on and so forth. You say magic is not magical.

Like what. The three carriages were locked side by side, with adjacent side compartment wall panels, opened up and down. The lower half of the box wall is tiled into the floor, and the upper half of the box wall is supported into a roof. In this way, only three horse-drawn carriages can be built into a spacious ten-person barracks. The three 'barracks wagons' were also equipped with amenities such as stoves, bedding, weapon racks, and simple furniture.

Most powerfully, all carriages are equipped with lifting cranks. The level of the vehicle can be adjusted within a certain range according to the height difference of the terrain. Easy to combine and splic. Very well thought out.

Linxiang is the culmination of the ink door mechanism. It will be made as a carriage forged by the main prince Liu Bei at no cost. Let war preparedness become more and more a skill.

Imagine, if Liu Bei's army in the future, the logistics will be replaced by a carriage. What a spectacle.

Mere three hundred and sixty horsemen. It's just a small blacksmith shop and a baking shop. It's about being flexible and compact.

If you lead an army of 100,000. The convoy of organs was assembled into a blacksmith's workshop, a baker's camp, a field infirmary, and so on. The scene must be spectacular.

In the large stable surrounded by hay carts, the emperor was busy feeding the horses. The auxiliaries who had set up the camp also came to help. More than 1,000 people are from Linxiang. Young and strong, both Han and Hu. Most of them are from Xilinyi. On weekdays, they raise horses in the car house, and go to the racecourse to help out on race days. Recently, he was recruited as an apprentice in the museum and practiced operating the machine car. In addition to moving his family to his hometown, it was the first time he went far away. And walking with the lord again, the Xilin teenagers were all excited.

Since the beginning of the year. In addition to the eastern and central Xianbei, the border counties and Zahu also moved their families south. Settled in Xilin. Just like Liu Bei's constantly improving organ carriage. The car building in Xilin-eup has also undergone many technological innovations and upgrades. Enamel armor is spread all over, fire and theft prevention and anti-war. The manpower propulsion that moves up and down has also been replaced by animal-driven runners. Anyway, it's more and more like a boat passing back and forth on the track. According to the teenagers, the horse path outside Xilin City was also carefully carved out to detour the entire wild forest. There is also a wild horse farm for horses.

The pastures that are all over the wild forests, channels, and river banks are inexhaustible. Many Han Chinese also began to raise horses.

Liu Bei had no time to take care of the central Xianbei, and gradually unified under the command of Budugen and Kebineng. It is said that Budugen is still the direct bloodline of Da Dan Yu Tanshi Huai. But I don't know why I was able to escape the encirclement and suppression of the 12 high cars.

Anyway.

The three counties of Wuhuan, and the Southern Xiongnu, with the help of Liu Bei, are well-dressed and well-swords. In particular, the various ministries that have tasted the sweetness have planted alfalfa all over the wasteland of the border counties, and are changing from nomadic herding to agriculture and animal husbandry. Guangzhao Beidi good workers to build Mayi, new city. This is evidence. It can be described as a strong soldier.

There are the Southern Xiongnu and the three counties of Wuhuan, eyeing each other.

Xianbei women's works are worth 100,000 or even millions of dollars. How dare Xianbei in the middle of the country plunder.

Do the two buns of meat go to tremble and beat the dog?
